Background
Khvarenah (クワルナフ) is one of the seven absolute Dragvant who stand as the strongest individuals in the universe ruled by Avesta, he's the father figure behind Quinn's creation, ranked first in the rankings of Wahman Yast and Possessing the alias of Workshop of Destruction, His true identity is that of a star spirit, a superorganism that is the universe's most powerful "race." As a result, its perspective and scale differ substantially from that of ordinary organisms, and Khvarenah's size is comparable to that of a hypergiant star. It's a one-of-a-kind monster that devour other stars while speeding through space, and it continues to proliferate and evolve endlessly, much like a migratory fish, as Quinn characterized it. He's the Incarnation of Malignancy of Oblivion and Satanael Archetype.

Everything has lost its significance. Color, sound, smell, and time were all ripped and smashed at the same time. All five senses will be rendered useless, and the brain will begin to decompose.

Speed: At least Massively FTL+ (Due to his massive size), Likely Immeasurable (Superior to Frederica, went toe to toe with Bahlavan) | At least FTL (Suffered a physical degeneration as a result of the reduction of his exquisite body), Likely Immeasurable (His unique powers and authorities have been strengthened) | Likely Immeasurable (Albeit imperfect, he achieved the law of the Big Bang and is nearly a million times more powerful)

Range: At least Interstellar (is a Star Spirit the size of a Hypergiant Star that Makes other Stars insects in comparison), likely Intergalactic (capable of building a completely new world spanning hundreds of galaxies that was independent from reality)
Standard Equipment: There is no standard arsenal available. Khvarenah simply fights by utilizing his authority to create a variety of objects on the fly, which can range from a simple flame-spewing cannon to a wish-granting machine and so on.
Intelligence: Supergenius (His Star Body controls Khvarenah's ability to reason and has calculation ability, which consists of his thought processes being divided into astronomical numbers then running simultaneously at transcendental speeds. He is capable of producing a variety of weapons, including a wish granting device, Androids with extraordinary combat capabilities, the ability to read the Avesta, and even the ability to take on Commandments for themselves, a device capable of stopping time, a ring capable of reproduction of all things, be they matter, concepts, or phenomenon, an armor that either allows its user to utilize the power of the ego or strengthens the power of the ego of those who already have it, various types of cannons capable of unleashing tsunamis of flames, torrents of frost, storms of lightning, deadly poison, matter eroding viruses, and light of extinction capable of shaving off space itself and so on) | Mindless (His ability of thinking clearly, which he used to have while he was in his star body, has vanished. He basically walks around aimlessly, to the point of becoming a moronic existence) | Unknown (Thanks to Magsarion's immutability, his soul body, which had been reduced to a moronic existence by previous setbacks, was regaining its own identity. He was still hazy, like a passing wave, but he appeared to be able to communicate)
Weaknesses: Khvarenah is more interested than anything else in gaining answers to his queries. If his Astral Corpus is destroyed, he will lose his creative capacity as the Forge of Ruin, leaving only the Star Cluster of Extinction, complete with its limitless and aimless hunger. isn't even aware that his own Astral Body exists | Described as a moronic existence who can't even display the logical thinking capabilities that he demonstrates when commanding his own Star Body. | His immutability is unsuitable for combat. Because his immutability was corrupted, he's unable to reach Godhood properly.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Star Spirits: It is, as the name implies, a unique organism that serves as a star's soul. They wield enormous power as the universe's strongest race. They take two forms: one when the star itself is moved as the body, and another when it is anthropomorphized. The former rely on their own mass to attack and defend, whereas the latter rely on special abilities brought about by the crystallization of the star's spirit. Furthermore, there are both good and evil star spirits, and in many cases, the transcendental beings known as the Archdemons are wicked star spirits. In this story, all the stars are alive. They are not always inhabited by star spirits, and developing an ego takes time and a great deal of potential. For that reason, a mature star spirit can "move" and seize an immature star. Although extremely rare, it is not uncommon for humans and other organisms to kill a star spirit, usurp its place, and become a new star spirit.
- Authority: Vishvakarman, Khvarenah's Authority, as well as an ability of creation connected to his Commandment. It is the power that is the symbol of the 1st Rank Archdemon, christened the Workshop of Destruction, the functionality of the daemonic tools created by it not fitting within the framework of the story's world. In fact, if we take into account that the Mashyag's effects exceeded Shinga's Law, even though a complex amount of factors were involved in that one event, it could be said that, in some sense, it has reached the level of Kamui.
Soul Body: It's proper name is Astral Body. It is the form in which the Ego/self of Star Spirits, and similar superior lifeforms, crystallizes. Because their usual bodies are as big as celestial bodies, regular organisms can do naught but recognize them as being nature itself, so exchanging intent or words is mostly impossible. Thus, a Soul Body could be said to be a Sensory to get in contact with the lower folk, to match points of view with the "tiny people". The Soul Bodies introduced in the story have been, almost without exception, close to humans in terms of shape, but that's because of the circunstances of humanity being the typical representative of intelligent lifeforms. Thus, Soul Body-fication has both merits and demerits from the perspective of fighting power. As for the former, due to the condensation of the ego/self, special powers are strengthened and, as for the latter, they suffer physical degradation due to having reduced their magnificent bodies. That is, the power of Commandments and authorities increases upon going into Soul Body form, however, as a prerequisite, they have to lower their points of view to human level, so they can't avoid the narrowing of their effect scope. In addition, since the Soul Body is literally their soul's core, its destruction leads almost invariably to death. Not even Star Spirits as powerful and huge as Khvarenah can avoid the loss of their ego/self.
Commandment: Commandments are the abilities that the people in the first era had. Basically, the exchange of power involves giving away a significant part of oneself, I.E., having a binding whose contents are defined by its user, that grants massive boons (frequent inversions of their binding) if they are followed throughout. Although it's possible for an individual to possess more than one commandment, However, if they break them, a divine punishment will fall upon them, and they will, at best, just die.
- Pushpaka Ratha: Khvarenah's Commandment. In exchange for the binding of "having no choice but to continue giving birth to things that will become weapons", he gets "Becoming an atrocious, mighty incarnation of destruction" as a boon. That is, his power to grow up to the size of a Hypergiant Star, as well as to keep multiplying Saurva, the Star Cluster of Extinction, without an end in sight, finds its origin in this Commandment.
Power of The Ego/Garyoku: special power wielded by high-ranking Daeva. Literally, the ability to forcibly bring about absurd phenomena through the ego's strength. strength of will that transcends the laws of physics. It makes it possible to strengthen physical attributes such as offense and defense, speed, or regeneration power; even actions that twist the world's form become possible. Though it is a supernatural power different from the commandments, the power of the ego and the commandments can be combined to produce synergy. That is, the power of the ego can be used to strengthen commandments. Because it is a power that finds its source in one's prejudices and selfishness, it is not suited for Ashavan. Reversely, the specialty of the side of Good, namely the power to concentrate the thoughts of several people for the sake of another's prayers, is not suited for Dragvant. This is an expression of the differences in acting between the two sides.
Big Bang: It is a kind of Big Bang, a Creation of Heaven and Earth (Tenchi Kaibyaku), the work of a God which would be called things such as Atziluth (Emanation) and Taikyoku in further eras. The existences who reach this level become All of Creation itself, thus, the ideology and nature of he or she will become an omnipresent, universal Law regarding the current age... basically, the primordial mechanism of this work's world.
- Lokapala Vishvakarman Vastu: Khvarenah's Hegemony (Hadou). A New World to completely cover the universe, with the "Beauty" believed by him to be Immutable as an absolute truth. The one ruling the present universe is, obviously, Avesta, however, Khvarenah's "Beauty" was supposed to become a new Law to replace it. In spite of there being several ways to understand the very simple word "Beauty", the one which Khvarenah embodies is artistic, cultural "Beauty". That is, painting, the industrial arts of crafting, architecture, music, poetry, et all. In his world, every single lifeform would possess extreme artistic genius and sensitivity. Thus, flowers and animals will create "beautiful" nature, and additionally, intelligent life, who have received inspiration from that, will bring a rich civilization into being, accelerating the arts even further in a process of synergy of "Beauty". The pure, devout feelings everyone would come to harbour within their hearts upon seeing, touching and feeling "Beautiful" things would become salvation that will bring an end to turbulent times. Because it is a Law which has eliminated strife in this way as its very premise, its compatibility with the "Beauty" dwelling in weapons and in the arts of battle is bad. In spite of this, because Khvarenah was bewitched by the Divine Sword, it became impossible for this Hegemony to be made complete.
